The Cafe Scientifique team are looking forward to Professor Iain MacRury’s exciting talk on ‘The Inner World of Doctor Who’ tonight. If you are a Doctor Who fan, then this is definitely an event for you to attend!
With the 50th anniversary of the iconic BBC series happening this month, Prof MacRury will be discussing the psychology behind the show’s popularity. Why is it still, if not more, popular 50 years on? What has made it so appealing to people around the world? and why does it evoke such rich childhood memories of hiding behind the sofa from monsters?
This is a FREE event and doors open at the wonderful Cafe Boscanova in Boscombe at 6:30pm ready for a 7:30pm start. The talk is expected to finish at around 9pm.
There is also no need to register for this event so just simply come along, bring a friend and enjoy yourself! There is also some excellent food available.
You can find out more about Cafe Scientifique Bournemouth here and also through our twitter and Facebook account.
The Cafe Scientifique team look forward to seeing you there!
